On rabid commercialism
Jan. 22nd, 2005 05:44 pmMy bag o'stuff from Sephora arrived today - fourteen cosmetic products - twenty-one if you count everything in kits separately - for twenty one dollars, including shipping. Gotta love sales.
I got a sample of Pink Sugar eau de toilette and my goodness, does it smell like sugar. Cotton candy, actually (candyfloss for the Brits) and the kids love it.
The reason I haven't been around much this week is because of insane computer problems. My office machine, which was my home machine until 3 weeks ago, had a hard drive crash. It was vaguely recently backed up, so I didn't lose very much, but it has to be replaced. I'm checking to see if the office network can accomodate a MiniMac - it's really all I need for the office, and er, it's shiny.
My at-home laptop has suffered a Troublesome Keyboard Failure - the Fn key seems to be stuck down. I picked up a can of antidust today which may help - any advice on what else might work, short of a keyboard replacement, or using it as a docked computer with a plug-in keyboard?
Last bit of advice-seeking: I've had pregnancy-related heartburn for the past few weeks. I've tried changing what I eat after 3pm, staying upright after eating, and chewing tums, which usually help after an hour or so, but does anyone have other tips? Is there anything I should stay away from 24/7? I've already declined ordering the Tiger Tear salad from our thai restaurant tonight, sigh...
